It has been law in Missouri for over 5 years.
Oklahoma has the same law on the books, too.

The total was $750,000 as of 1:00 P.M. yesterday.

As far as a previous post stating that legal experts believe the law will be overturned (the LA Slime article), for every expert that says it will not pass, there are three more who say it will. I'll take your L.A. Slimes article and raise you three constitutional law professors who say that this law will stand constitutionally.

This administration can sit back and do nothing, in effect ignoring the law, so that it can push for "immigration reform". That will be some form of amnesty, or making the path to citizenship like driving through a McDonald's drive-thru while others struggle trying to gain citizenship the lawful way.

The fed has the law on the books, and has sent token support, but has not made one iota difference in the problem. It's a perfect scenario for the amnesty crowd,.."hey, the law is there, and we've sent the troops, but the only way we'll solve the problem is with REFORM". It gives the fed the perfect opportunity to do nothing and still accomplish what it wishes.

Sickening.

Reform is an idiotic term anyway. It isn't about reform but amnesty/legalization.

That is awsome. If that does not show how the American people feel about this issue then I don't know what does. November 2nd will be interesting.

How many times does a state have to ask for assistance from the government before taking action themselves?

And then to be sued by the same government that refuses to help out?

Does someone have the link to her page on facebook?

According to the article, there were 9,057 online contributions that came in from all 50 states plus Puerto Rico. I'll be the first one to admit that math wasn't my best subject in school, but it still seems to me that less than ten thousand contributions out of a population of more than 280 million hardly qualifies as "broad based appeal."
